Elon,
Add a toggle for increased font size. Please.
Thank You.

Contacts or glasses would not help. The problem is as you get older your eyes can't change focus. You need one set of glasses/contacts to see the road. And another set of glasses/contacts to see something up close like the screen.
The OP is complaining about not being able to read the temp, time, or map. I've spent quite a bit of time analyzing your "traditional car" photo, and I cannot read (or even find) the temp, time, or map. Older cars had less information to convey, so they could get away with using larger fonts.
That said, I agree 100% that there should be a font-size setting. Even if 99% of people like it the way it is, there should be an option for people with difficulty focusing up close. However significantly larger font settings will most likely require removing some elements from the screen. So the OP still may not be able to read the map, because Tesla might have to remove the map to accommodate the larger fonts on everything else.
RIGHT?! Seat heater buttons that I don’t use 10 months of the year, are actually larger than the control arrows, get in the way of them and are actually automatic anyway?! I can’t tell you how many times my butt has roasted until I look to see that I’ve accidentally turned them on!Maybe if the design people would quit fooling around with the totally superfluous and childish toys and games, then concentrate on useful, oft requested features, we would have information in a font size we can safely and easily read. Maybe even - dare I dream? - moving the seat heater switches somewhere so I don't hit them when trying to adjust the HVAC.
Get rid of the games and use the memory space for a modifiable layout!
Why is the font so freaking small on the UI (Temp, Time, etc...). Also, sometimes there are words/locations on the map that are right under the clock and you can't read it! Why can't we adjust the font size??? Since I am near sighted, I have to remove my glasses to read it while driving. It is a hazard. Tesla, please let us adjust font size!!!!
i've seen a couple of these threads spattered here and there and I wonder, what did you do before we had screens? the numbers on the gauges aren't adjustable and can be argued they're difficult, at best, to read. additional numbers, settings and warnings have traditionally been at a non-intrusive "size" in most vehicles. did they just not bother you before, or you just didn't pay attention.
OP, not bashing your thread, but there is a limit to what a UI can do and still be "safe" across all markets. while i agree the "cell phone" status bar at the top is a bit small (for a vehicle), i'm not sure adding a "high visibility" interface would improve the UI much.
i suppose given the real estate on the screen, it should be possible, but you run the risk of branched development and one UI might be missing features the other UI isn't (translation: it can get really expensive).
personally, the most important visualizations are already the most visible IMO. the rest is just distractions.
I find it to be the right size. Lasik?
I also agree with the OP. In my 20's I had 20/15 vision which worked very well. Now that I can actually afford a Tesla, my vision sucks. It's probably 20/25 but I can't read any of the error messages or most of what is on the top line on the screen without putting glasses on. Luckily I do have AutoSteer, so turn on autosteer, put on glasses, read what is needed. React to TACC or autosteer abrupt slow down. Yes, it works and is a bit safer but not ideal. I submitted a suggestion to Tesla asking for Boomer mode. The UI has enough room to allow 2 or 3 different font sizes. However, changing a font size is a lot of work and a lot of testing since it will affect a lot of things. All of the menu options for example. Maybe they could allow a bigger font for just the main screen, and we can use glasses within the menu system.
